NC State vs. Wake Forest Today at Noon

NC State faces off against awake Forest today at noon, and with Valentine’s Day tomorrow, maybe the Wolfpack will give us a little love with an ACC win.

The Pack has had a less than exciting season this year with an overall 12-12 record, where they’re 2-9 in the conference. Although awake Forest is 10-14, they defeated the Pack early this season in a close 74-77 loss in Deacon territory.

Traditionally we play better at home, but it’s always a guessing game. Both teams are fighting to stay relevant at the bottom of the ACC. Wake is close behind State with a 1-11 conference record, but has lost 20 ACC road games since 2010.

Despite this up-and-down season, Cat Barber has maintained a steady shooting hand throughout the season. Barber averages 23.5 points a game and scored a solid 26 earlier against Wake. Provided Cat plays true to himself with a little help from the Martin twins and Rowan, oh and the defense doesn’t fall apart, NC State should pull out ahead.

    Not of you have to play five games. Car would be exhausted

    That cold wind just picked up again :).

    That’s why they roll the ball out on the court. He should not be underestimated.

    Cat is amazing.
    Calls for a tournament win are at best premature.
    Were haven’t even one five games yet much less five in five days.

    I have never heard of that stat. What is it.

    Usg%
    Usage Percentage (available since the 1977-78 season in the NBA); the formula is 100 * ((FGA + 0.44 * FTA + TOV) * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm FGA + 0.44 * Tm FTA + Tm TOV)). Usage percentage is an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor.

    Typically a player becomes less efficient as their usage goes up. Cat is just like, “meh” and goes out and scores 30+. He doesn’t shoot a ridiculous percentage, but it’s because he draws a foul every other time he shoots.

    I’m pretty sure the energizer bunny wants to be Cat when he grows up. Cat is eternal. Cat is endless.

    If I were in Vegas I would gladly put $100 on NCState to win the ACCT at whatever long odds they would offer me. And walk away from the window thinking I got one of the best deals in town. I can only guess – 50:1? 100:1? Yes, I would take that with Cat and our team.

    Just checked some odds. 0.43% chance. So, 200:1?

    Mr. Dog…

    Hey Cuz… do you miss CALVIN too….

    he was one of the most balanced “distributors of the ball” I’ve ever seen…

    40% to himself ; 20% to his team mates ; 40% to the other team
    that’s equal opportunity…

    and if you ain’t doing nothing… come on down and help me drop 400lbs of taters in the row next weekend … I GOTT your cold beer and maybe some salty oysters if they open up the waters this week…

    sorriest season for oysters in years… too much rain, high water table, salinity down around 3%….

    Standard reminder that the ONLY ACC team Wake has beat all season…is us. Of course, neither side has gotten to feast on the corpse of Boston College yet.

    Still nice to get the win, and avoid abject disaster. Had we just beaten the Bees, we would still have a shot to avoid that killer opening day assignment. Oh well, what’s done is done.

    Any win at this point is a good one. I hope we can go on a little streak and avoid the “first round” of the ACC tournament.

    We are plain lucky to have CAT as he is carrying this team. So, yes I am happy with the win and I will cheer on regardless. That being said this year is the LEAST amount of WP sports I can ever remember watching. It’s just not the priority it once was as the rollercoaster ride of inconsistency has grown tiresome.

    Without CAT the dumpster fire would be burning with a straight fuel line like an offshore oil rig!
